Front slash panels

Today I bottomed out on a concrete parking bumper and trashed the front splash panels under the front bumpers. Are they hard to replace?

I am assuming you are referring to the portion of the smooth plastic underbody that extends forward to the front spoiler underneath the car?

If so, then no, they're not that bad. We just had to do this on my dad's car, I think it was a couple hundred bucks or less at the dealer, and they had it done in less than an hour.

Thanks, I just replaced mine. $40 each from Pelican products. Touchest item was fiinding the right fasteners. Ultimately bought them from dealer, $1.18 each, 4 are needed. Easy installation as long as bumper is not too distorted.
